November 3, 201114 yr I've been getting a lot of failed drives lately and thought I had just bought a bad batch of drives. I put in a replacement for my parity drive tonight. I booted up and started sync and that's when I noticed my fan speed changing and the hard drives seeking at the same time. I grabbed a meter and checked my power supply just to find out that it was browning out. I hit stop sync and did a graceful power down. I replaced the power supply and now unraid is hanging during boot. I can't get a syslog, but this message repeats continuously during boot (text copyied from a different post): Apr 18 19:42:37 storage kernel: ata3.00: status: { DRDY ERR } Apr 18 19:42:37 storage kernel: ata3.00: error: { UNC } Apr 18 19:42:37 storage kernel: ata3.00: configured for UDMA/133 Apr 18 19:42:37 storage kernel: ata3: EH complete Apr 18 19:56:14 storage kernel: ata3.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 Apr 18 19:56:14 storage kernel: ata3.00: BMDMA stat 0x25 Apr 18 19:56:14 storage kernel: ata3.00: failed command: READ DMA EXT Apr 18 19:56:14 storage kernel: ata3.00: cmd 25/00:58:8f:c0:24/00:03:1c:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 438272 in Apr 18 19:56:14 storage kernel: res 51/40:17:c0:c3:24/40:00:1c:00:00/e0 Emask 0x9 (media error) Apr 18 19:56:14 storage kernel: ata3.00: status: { DRDY ERR } Apr 18 19:56:14 storage kernel: ata3.00: error: { UNC } If I unplug the parity drive unraid boots fine and it just shows the drive as missing. If I plug the drive back in it goes back to repeating the above. I tried to move the drive to a different SATA port and no luck. Is there a way to make unraid think this is a new drive so I can restart the parity re-build?
November 3, 201114 yr Author How do I get a system log the machine never turns on the network adapter and gets an IP? I don't even get a command. I get an endless loop of the messages above during boot.
November 4, 201114 yr Login at the console and cp the log file to the flash as described in the link.
November 4, 201114 yr Author but I can't log in at the console. Unraid never gets to a command prompt because it hangs on boot.
November 4, 201114 yr Run check disk on the flash in a windows PC. If that does not fix it, make a backup of the flash content and reformat the flash and prepare the flash with clean unRAID version or use a second flash drive. Try to start up with the clean install.
November 10, 201114 yr Author SOLVED: I bought another drive and had no problem getting unraid back up and running. I tried putting the non-functional drive in another machine and it's toast. Must have gotten damaged by the power supply browning out?
